Am a retired teacher and decided to teach myself calligraphy as you do and ordered some books and pens and made a start it was okay-ish but your video breaking the letter down into strokes makes everything so much easier I’ve looked at other calligraphy videos but speaking as a professional teacher of 30 Years...yours is the best I’ve found for content, clarity ....just all round..

As someone who learned to write cursive as a child, I think there are two aspects that separate cursive from calligraphy. 1) The continuation - you don't lift your pen when writing cursive, but you do with calligraphy. 2) The pressure - you keep the same pressure throughout when writing cursive, but you put more pressure on down strokes and ease it on up strokes in calligraphy.

As a beginner, I can say that this is the best breakdown of calligraphy I have seen so far after watching multiple videos the last few days. This was the first time hearing that cursive and calligraphy are different because calligraphy letters are composed of strokes. So excited to have that base knowledge when I'm practicing the basics! Thank you!

I’m actually trying to not only improve my cursive handwriting, but started getting accustomed to using a fountain pen and also have an interest in learning calligraphy. The more skills we can learn, the better our understanding of their differences and the better our proficiency can become. Thank you, Becca, for making this video and providing such a vital understanding of the basics of calligraphy. I’ll go and check out your course now.

This is so cool. When I was learning to write the Catholic nuns would cane my hands for messy writing, which made it harder to write neater, resulting in more caning. I have always had messy writing as an adult, and when I try to write neater the trauma would tighten up the muscles in my hands making the writing worse. I am training myself through calligraphy to enjoy writing as artistic expression with your helpful content. Thank you!

I have been learning this _like_ waaay faster than I thought; in just approximately 2 months. I too learned cursive as everybody did as a child, but even then I just loved to break down the cursive in between a word because I thought the letters would be nicer in appearance. Now that I'm learning calligraphy I'm becoming more and more obsessed with writing as slow as I can to perfect my basic strokes 😍
